Maybe it's just me - but the overwhelming majority of these so called great "pieces of art" are things that if left in my possession to keep - I would donate to the nearest garbage dump ASAP.
Of course, I only make that statement if the stuff was given to me and I wasn't under the assumption it was worth anything.
If someone gave me the Mona Lisa - I think the following would occur with my thought process when I first look at it....
* I wonder what she would have looked like without clothes about 5 years earlier.
* I wonder is she was an ego maniac, and paid someone to do that picture for her - or if some sad lonesome artist tried to score some pu tang by painting her a pic of herself.
* Crinkle, trash can.
